Candles create a warm, romantic, and inviting ambiance in any room. With the use of soy candles, you create beautiful centerpieces with little harm to the environment. Soy wax (derived from soy beans) burns cleaner and the bean farming adds vital nutrients to the soil. Several candle options are available at Caterpillar's Candles. Twelve tea lights or eight votive candles cost $12.87.
Place the candles on a mirror in the center of the table and add flower petals or ivy. Combine different sized candles to add dimension. The cost of the centerpiece will depend on how many candles you use. No need to have a bonfire on each table.
Greener- Potted Plants
Plants bring life and a natural aspect to your reception. A potted plant will look great on a table, and just like your marriage, will grow and thrive long after your wedding. Herbs, bamboo, mums, or mini pine trees are all creative options. Make sure the plant is not too tall or bushy; you want your guests to see across the table.
Purchase plants of your choice at your local nursery and re-pot them in any type of container. I will use a simple terracotta pot to keep my garden theme in the reception. Planting tips can be found at plantideas.com.
The plants can be given to your guests or donated to a local hospital or nursing home. The price of this centerpiece depends on plant and pot selection.
$Greenest- Baskets With Fruit
Baskets can be found at a variety of places. Garage sales, thrift stores, and re-sale shops are the most economical choices. Many sustainable baskets are available at Pristine Planet and Original Good. Find a good deal on baskets and this centerpiece will be very easy on your wallet.
Decorate baskets with ribbon or string then fill with your choice of fruit. Organic apples or pears look nice. Gourds and small pumpkins are perfect for a fall wedding. Donate the fruit to a food pantry when the reception is over.
